. To all whom it may ooawem:

Be itknown that I, ORA'H. Jus'ros, -a .citizen of the United States,- residing at .Parkersburg, in the county of Wood and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new-and useful Improvements in Purifiers for Gasoline Systems, of which the fol-- lowing is a specification.

' This invention relates to certain new and l Q i seful improvements. in purifiers for gaso- 'l ne'. systems, and the primary object thereof Bis-to providea device which can be interposedin the gasoline feed-lineof any type or make of automobile 'in any easy, quick 1 andsim ple manner. A

, further object of the invention is to provide a device of this type which may be carried by the dash so as to thereby not sub- 7' 'eet the feed line Ito the weight or tension Incident to su port of the device.

' to provide" a device of this type which embodies a standard ty e of bottle, found in nearly every househo d,,so that in=- case of breakagemeady substitution may be made without obtainingfa special type, of recep-.

tacle from the manufacturer. of the device. A still further object of the invention is tdpr'ovide a structure; wherein the bottle can b'e removed'by the simple manipulation f a pair of wing'nuts; 1

The invention still further aims o Pr v adevice of this "character which can be. most produced, which involves a' er of parts, which is effective in operation, and which in' the instance of, certain makes of automobiles canbe installed I economically $5 mlmmumnum y P o the estee -l n feed. l n or Par a-f".- In the 'drawingsa ion of the inve111-' @1111. nea Figure 2, is a frontielevation; and

Figure s iea jni ne 9 5 Fi e 1! 1 a nproceeding in accordance with the'presr ent invention, abracket is empl0yd5i=preferably of approximatel L-shape as depict- ..ed in the drawings, t e"vertica1 member ,1 of the bracket bein secured byfsuitable fastenings 2 to dash of the automobile andbeneath the hood of the. latter;

- The horizontal' part or table 3 of. the

. bracket is provided with nipples 4 and 5, of

A San furt er object/of the invention is- Application 101' 1925. Serial No. 49,152.

which 4 constitutes the inlet and is connected by a'coupling 6 to the pipe or line leading from the gasoline tank, while the nipple 5 constitutes theoutlet and is connected by a coupling 7 to the. pipe or line which leads to the carbureter or to the vacuum tankin the instance of vacuum systems.

A strainer S-of fine mesh is connected to the outlet and dep'ends'from the table 3 into a bottle 9 of standard type of manufacture, more familiarly known or recognized as a milk-bottle. 1

The mouth of the bottle is impinged against a suitable Washer oregasket 10 which engages beneath the .table 3 in surrounding relation to the nipples 4 and 5, and is fixedly held in position through themedium of a clamp 11- which engages about the bottle neck and beneath' the customary bead or enlargement 12 that such bottles are molded with.

Transverse bolts equipped with wing or thumb nuts 13 are employed to cause the clamp to snugly and conformably engage about the bottle neck, while vertically disnuts- 15 are employedv to suspend the bottle from the bracket table, the bolts '15 engaging through the clamp ends. Thus upon tightlening-ofthe wing nuts 15, the bottle mouth 10 and the latter in turn drawn 'against'f the under side of the table of the feet an air-seal thereby. i

may be adjustably drawn against thegasket posed bolts l lequipped with wing or thumb e bracket to; ef

It will benow apparent that the gasoline enters the bottle, must-.pass'through the strainer before it can reach the carbureter. Consequently allwforeign substances will beheld or trappedin the bottle and sediment including-water as it'collects within the bot- Y i tle will gravitate to the bottom thereof, and can be removed by simple: manipulation of ,the- "wing nuts 151p enablefsthe bolts ltto I bewithdrawug-fr m. the bracket table. It

' be'understoodthat in this removal operation to cleanse the bottle,.the bottle clamp -need notfbe disturbed However, in event of breakageof the bottle; the clamp ispremo'ved and applied toa new bottle, and since the type of the latter is such as Is found in nearly every household, no special part is required as to this part of the invention.

In thelinstance of certain types of cars, l

. it is merely necessary 'to attach the bracket to the dash, and to then disconnect the pipe 17 from the 1 nected to the fromthe gasoline source to the vacuum tank, and connect same to the n pple 4. A short piece of pipe 16 is then connected to the nlpple 5 and to the vacuum tank or carbureter. Since the bracket receives support from the dash,

Since as is well known, milk bottles Whether of quart, pint or gill size equally possess the same mouth structure as regards size it is therefore possible to use any hottle of the foregoing capacities equally as Well.

It will be alsoseen that in case of breakage of the bottle while on the road, the coupling 6 may be removed and the pipe gasoline supply may be con nected to the carbureter or vacuum tank, which will in effect, be restoration to' the original condition of the car, or the conditlon existing prior to present invention.

The clampholds the bottle rigidly in pos1t1on and against all vibrations so as to eliminate danger of breakage during the car movements.

What is claimed is:

1. In a gasoline system, a substantially L-shaped bracket formed for connection to the dash member of the bracket having an inlet and an outlet, abottleof standard type of manufacture, a gasket beneath said bracket member, a clamp removably engaged about the bottle neck and with the customary bead at the mouth thereof, vertical bolts extending through said bracket member and the clamp, wing nuts on the bolts engaged with incorporation of the the upper face of the bracket member to against the gasket,

draw the bottle mouth and transverse bolts at the clamp ends to draw the latter into snug engage nent'with the bottle neck. 1 l

2. In a gasoline system, a bracket formed for connection to the dash of an automobile, a bottle of standard type of manufacture, a gasket. interposed between the bottle mouth and the bracket, a clamp arranged about the bottle neck, an inlet and an outlet in the bracket, vertical bolts conclamp and extending through the bracket, and

it will be obvious that the pipe is not subjected to any strain or presbracket to connectthe of an automobile, the horizontal wing nuts on the bolts ento the bracket to thereby draw the receptacle against the gasket.

4. In a gasoline system, a bracket formed for connection to the automobile and having an inlet and an outlet, a receptacle having a bead adjacent itsfmouth and engaged at its mouth beneath the bracket, means engagedwith said head and having parts extending through the bracket to suspend the receptacle from the bracket, and adjustable means on said parts of the suspending meansto draw the receptacle into engagement withthebracket:

5. In a gasoline system, a bracket formed for'connection to the automobile and having an inlet and an outlet, areceptacle having an'outwardly extending abutment adjacent its mouth, a holder for the receptacle removably engaged therewith and beneath and against said abutment, and means independent of the holder to suspend said holder from the bracket.

6. In a. gasoline system, a bracket, a receptacle having a bead adjacentits mouth, a clamp removably engaged about the receptacle and with the head, a series of means each independently operable from above the clamp to the bracket, and an'inlet andan outlet for the receptacle carried by the bracket.-

7. In a gasoline system, a bracket having an inlet and an outlet, a receptacle having an outwardly extending abutment adjacent its mouth, a holder engaged about the receptacle and with the abutment, and a series of independent fasteners for the holder each engaged with the holder and extending into the bracket so as to be independently operable.

8. In a gasoline system, a bracket having an inlet and an outlet, a receptacle having an outwardly extending abutment adjacent its mouth, a clamp removably engaged with the receptacle and against the abutment, and adjustable means engaged with the clamp and extending through the bracket to suspend the receptacle from the bracket so as to regulably effect engagement of the receptacle with the bracket.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signa ture. v
